Hillary Clinton: We Were Dead Broke

Clinton: 'We Gave Speeches to Pay Off Debt, Numerous Homes'

BY:
June 9, 2014 8:40 am

Hillary Clinton, who recently raked in $5 million dollars in speaking fees in 15 months, recounted to Diane Sawyer the sad tale of her former destitution, telling her, “We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt.”

According to Clinton, she and her husband, who has made over $100 million since leaving the White House, “struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea’s education, you know, it was not easy.”

But, as Clinton’s story goes, the two hard-working, middle-class millionaires somehow managed to put food on the table in their multiple houses, even though they “had to make double the money, because of, obviously, taxes, and then pay off the debts and get us houses and take care of family members.”

Although Sawyer wondered if Americans would understand why Hillary Clinton needs a speaking fee of $200,000, “five times the median income in this country for one speech”, Clinton assured her that she’s taking the high road: “I thought making speeches for money was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company as so many people who leave public life do.”

Later Sawyer also remarked on Clinton’s benevolence, reminding us “and she does make a lot of speeches for free, of course, to the groups she cares about so much.”

Yeah, she is all heart, no doubt about it. Funny thing though, talking about how they were having so much trouble making ends meet and the mortgages for HOUSES (plural). Poor people, at least none that I know, are struggling to pay multiple mortgages on mansions.

I always said they should have held out for more money on that Loral deal. That missile tech was worth a lot more than just some paltry campaign contributions.

Woah Nelly! The Loral mess and all manner of high tech transfer to the Chinese has bipartisan fingerprints on it: for starters, read the Cox Report. But you can see that it's linked to a "bureaucratic process propelled by a policy forged in the Reagan and Bush administrations."

Go ahead: vote Republican if you think it'll help. It won't. Israel has been known to barter our high tech with China too. If Clinton was guilty, he was just in a vetted position as a puppet to leave the barn door open. Just like all the rest, no worse, no better. TOS1 was rife with this talk, and it got us Shrub. Think about it. They're traitors by the time they get past the national conventions.

They're traitors long before getting the nominations, else they wouldn't get'em.

Based on what I've seen, I couldn't agree more.
